Turn an ordinary vegetable into an extraordinary side dish with this fresh and flavor-packed recipe for Easy Honey Roasted Carrots.

When it comes to getting my daily serving of veggies, I have to admit, carrots are not high on the list. I’m much more of a zucchini fritter or mashed cauliflower kinda gal. But the addition of three simple ingredients and a nice and slow bake in the oven transforms the boring, basic carrot into the sweet, sticky, candy-like Honey Roasted Carrots.

This is a classic recipe in which simplicity shines, and one in which you can go in a dozen different directions when it comes to the final flavor.

Start off with carrots in a rainbow of colors or opt for the baby carrot variety. Then leave them whole or slice and dice them into coins or batons for faster roasting.

Honey and olive oil provide the perfect coating that when hit with a burst of heat from the oven, transforms into a syrupy, sweet and savory topping. Finish off the carrots with a handful of chopped fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, chives, etc.!) and then let the snacking begin.
